Description

A kind of power switch driver, IC chip and DC-to-DC converter
Technical field
The present invention relates to switch power technology field, relate in particular to a kind of power switch driver, IC chip and DC-to-DC converter.
Background technology
The demand of current portable equipment and mobile communication system increases day by day, and these systems all be unable to do without electric power system, and DC-to-DC converter (DC/DC Converter) is widely used with its high efficiency.Shown in Fig. 1, be exactly common synchronous buck type DC-to-DC converter (Buck, Step-Down DC/DC Converter) application circuit, comprise DC-to-DC converter integrated circuit (IC) chip, inductance L 0, output capacitance C0 and load RLoad.Wherein, IC chip comprises controller (CONTROLLER), power switch driver (DRIVER), power switch M1 and M2.
Controller adopts certain control mode (PWM or PFM) to produce the pulse control signal of certain duty ratio (duty cycle), by driver, remove driving power switch M1 and M2, making the common node SW generation peak value of M1 and M2 is the pulse signal that power supply arrives ground, through the filtering of inductance L 0 and capacitor C 0, at load RLoad, holds and produces stable output voltage.
But, have in actual applications some non-ideal factors to consider.For example, routing stray inductance and resistance after IC chip package, Rpara1 as shown in Figure 2 and Lpara1, Rpara2 and Lpara2.In general encapsulation, dead resistance is tens milliohm magnitudes, and stray inductance is a few nanohenry magnitudes.Due to power switch M1 and M2 alternation switch, in the stray inductance of routing, have mutation current and produce larger change in voltage, that is to say, the extraneous desirable earth potential of the earth potential of IC chip internal and chip has voltage difference, and the earth potential of chip when power switch turn-on and turn-off in high frequency " spring " state, Here it is, and ground plays phenomenon (ground bounce).When adopt thinner packaging and routing for cost consideration, or load is when heavier, and the amplitude that the earth potential of IC chip is beated will increase, and at this moment will affect the control circuit of IC chip, thereby affects the normal work of IC chip.
At present, as shown in Figure 3, in prior art, conventional method is to serial resistance (R1 and R2) between power switch M1 and the grid of M2 at driver, adopt larger R1 and R2 (the general several kilohms of orders of magnitude), by slow down the opening speed of power switch M1 and M2 reduce bullet, wherein, power switch M1 is P-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect (MOS) transistor (P-channel Metal Oxide Semiconductor, PMOS); Power switch M2 is N NMOS N-channel MOS N field effect (MOS) transistor (N-channel Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor, NMOS).
But when the diameter of packaging and routing is less, the stray inductance of routing is larger, or load current is when larger, and the ground bullet of prior art is still very large.Reason is drawn high by controlling PMOS M11 and the resistance R 1 of this power switch M1 at the grid of power switch M1; But after M2 conducting, SW node is dragged down fast, because the resistance of R1 is larger, the grid that is M1 is larger to the impedance of power supply Vdd, parasitic capacitance Cgd by M1 is (because the area of power switch M1 is larger, equivalence Cgd also larger) coupling after, output (SW) also drags down the grid of M1, M1 is also at transient switching; M1 and M2 at the same time the moment of conducting will on packaging and routing inductance L para2, produce larger electric current, this large electric current can suddenly change and make GND end " spring " amplitude very high, it is many that the waveform GND amplitude of beating as shown in Figure 4 reaches 1V.
In sum, the ground bullet phenomenon of power switch of the prior art is comparatively serious.
